ATHLETIC FIELD TO BE SCENE OF HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT MAT 29 Commencement exercises at the McHenry Community High school, to be held on Thursday evening, May 29, will be conducted in a novel manner this year, according to an announcement this week by C. H. Duker, superintendent. He stated that the ceremony would be held on the lighted athletic field, a fete which has never before been performed in McHenry. The arrangements thus far declare that the graduating class will march onto the field, through the bleachers, and then each member will take his place on a specially built platform. In keeping with Memorial Day, which falls on the following day, the High School band will take part in a patriotic demonstration. It is hoped that the American Legion will be abl$ to assist in this demonstration. Short talks will be given by sin outstanding members of the class of 11941, the same being Amy Harrison,' Ervin Laures, Loren McCannon, Betty Nielsen. Donald Weingart and Beatrice Williams. The .honor swards will then be bestowed and the diplomas distributed. The recessional will close the program. With only seven more weeks of classes, the Seniors are budgeting their last days to include all the preparations for leaving high school. In recent class meetings they have selected their class colors, green and gold; flower, the jonquil; the style of their invitations; theaclass gift to the school, a sound amplifier, and have planned much of the detail work of commencement. The- first event, the class play, "Danger in the Desert," is a mystery, j in response to many requests for this type of production. The cast consists of: Bettie Engeln, Amy Harrison, Berniece Justen, Annabelle Nett, Elinor Pries, Peggy Schaefer, Bob Adams, Jay Cristy, Erwin Laures, Loren McCannon, Donald Meyer and Donald Weingart. Because of the difficulties in staging, the technicians, ' Betty Nielsen, Thomas Bolger and Earl Pomrening, will assist the cast in special effects. Lucille Weber and Donald Howard are stage managers. For the Baccalaureate services on Sunday, May 25, the graduating class is fortuante in securing Father Clarence Thennes as speaker. Father Thennes, who was ordained on April 23, 1938, at St. Mary of the Lake seminary in Mundelein, waa the first member of St. Mary's parish, McHenry, to have become a priest. Although he did not attend high school in McHenry, having received his higher education in the seminary, he was bom in this city and lived here until he finished grade school. He is now stationed in Aurora. The Girl Scouts met in Miss Bauer's* room Monday, April 7, .with two new members present to be welcomed into our troop. They are Janice Justen and Dolores Schlitt. That • makes total of thirty-six members troop. First we decided that we wanted to receive our badges just as soon as we passed our tests. Miss Bauer is sending an order for badges. If anyone wishes to get anything, be sure to let her know. Jean Nickels passed housekeeper, Susan Olsen, glass and interior decoration, and Lois Fred ricks, drawing and painting. A program committee for the remainder of the year was appointed. The members are Jean Nickels, Lucille Nickels, Rosalie Williams and tiois Fredrick?. They are to help plan the activitifes liof the Girl Scouts for the rest of the year. We talked about having another roller skating party on some Sunday afternoon soon. Since the weather was so springlike, we spent the rest of our time in playing baseball. Joan Durland and t Betty Kramer chose sides and we had I a great deal of fun playing. Joan | Duriand's team won by a score of 9 to 7. Miss Larkin umpired and judged the many hard hits made. There is some mighty good baseball material in our troop. There Will be no meeting next because of vacation. Wish you luck! ^ - VIRGINIA STRATTON, •Vs-;.s , Scribe.

Our Scoutmaster, Mr. Schoenholtz, is going to give a thirty minute discussion on the "Troop and Its Divisions." If you people don't know the divisions, they are the sponsoring institution (the American Legion Post 491 in McHenry); the troop committee; the Scout- | master; the Assistant Scoutmaster; {Junior Assistant Scoutmaster; the | Senior Patrol Leader; the Patrol j Leader, and last, but not least, the [troop. j Glenn Peterson, Thomas Lawson , and Robert Weideman have also been j attending this course.

Food is now being given by vein to patients who cannot eat, because of excessive weakness at the time of an operation, or because the surgeon must cut some part of the alimentary tract, as in removing a tumor. Hospitals are already using the new method. It enables patients to survive digestive crises hitherto often fatal. A protein preparation, first tried out on rats, developed this method of feeding patients, according to experiments announced by Dr. Robert Elman and Dr. D. O. Weiner of the department of surgery, Washington university school of medicine. ' 6 The question of when a motorist is drunk in the meaning of the law may soon be removed from the realm of controversial judgment to one of scientific certainty. A device, demonstrated recently in Lansing, Mich., is said to be able to do just that. It is a machine that tests the content of alcohol in the suspect's breath. This, scientists say, bears a constant relation to the amount of alcohol in the blood. Anything up to five-hundredths of 1 per cent would not justify a drunk-driving charge, but over that pjoportion, the charge would be laid, if other symptoms of intoxication are present.
